Celebrity chef Tom Kerridge, known for his Michelin-starred restaurants and gourmet expertise, has confessed to having an unexpected weakness when it comes to high street food chains. In a refreshingly honest admission, the culinary maestro revealed there's one particular spot he simply can't resist.
"I have a real soft spot for Greggs," Kerridge admitted, referring to the beloved UK bakery chain. "I love a Greggs. I can't walk past one without going in."
The two-Michelin-starred chef, who runs several high-end establishments including The Hand & Flowers in Marlow, Buckinghamshire, surprised fans with his down-to-earth confession about the budget-friendly bakery.
From Fine Dining to Sausage Rolls
Kerridge, who's built his reputation on exquisite fine dining, explained that sometimes you just crave simple comfort food. "There's something about that warm pastry smell that just draws you in," he said, describing the irresistible allure of the high street favourite.
The chef's admission comes as a breath of fresh air in an industry often obsessed with gastronomic perfection, proving that even the most accomplished culinary experts appreciate life's simpler pleasures.
A Nation's Favourite
Greggs, with over 2,000 outlets across the UK, has long been a staple of British high streets, famous for its sausage rolls, steak bakes and sweet treats. Kerridge's endorsement is likely to resonate with millions of Brits who regularly frequent the bakery chain.
While the chef continues to create extraordinary dining experiences in his restaurants, it's comforting to know that even he occasionally succumbs to the same temptations as the rest of us.
